Got it ...

JAVASCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
var myStr = "One, Two, Three, Four,"     
var strLen = myStr.length;
myStr = myStr.slice(0,strLen-1);
alert (myStr);
  1. var myStr = "One, Two, Three, Four,"     
  2. var strLen = myStr.length;
  3. myStr = myStr.slice(0,strLen-1);
  4. alert (myStr);

Or just:

Code: [ Select ]
myStr = myStr.slice(0, -1)


Negative numbers give offsets from the back of the string.

This will work if you're unsure that there is a comma, you can change the regex to cater for many scenarios.
JAVASCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
myStr = myStr.replace(/,$/,'');

If you like you can first remove the trailing spaces, newline etc from your string using this function so that above mention solution
JAVASCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
myStr = myStr.slice(0, -1)


can work without trouble.
JAVASCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
 
function rtrim(str, chars) {
   chars = chars || "\\s";
   return str.replace(new RegExp("[" + chars + "]+$", "g"), "");
}
 
  1.  
  2. function rtrim(str, chars) {
  3.    chars = chars || "\\s";
  4.    return str.replace(new RegExp("[" + chars + "]+$", "g"), "");
  5. }
  6.
